Description
These clouds had an interesting story to tell. I needed to archive those cursive scripts in oil. The title contains the meteorology as well.
I was painting the anticyclonic companion on the western horizon. Those clouds were stratiform or stable in nature. Gravity waves predominated with that stability. The undulations were oriented perpendicular to the atmosphere relative winds. The higher bands of cirrostratus were what initially caught my eye. Lower altostratus was on the western horizon with the thicker layers of warm conveyor belt moisture. Faint bands of higher cirrostratus were evident as well indicating the slope of the anticyclonic vorticity tube was upward and to the southeast. Meanwhile a deck of altocumulus was directly overhead and the curl to those swirls had the thumb of my right hand pointing upward as it should for a vorticity maximum. The science of the conceptual model matched nicely with the clouds I was observing. Every time you locate a swirl, there is another and opposite swirl nearby.
The midday lighting had turned the waters of Singleton Lake into a mixture of ultramarine and cobalt blue. The forest on the western shore of Singleton were already dark.

Amazing! So glad you ''archived those cursive scripts in oil''! Truly magnificent, Phil Chadwick! ''The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.'' - Psalm 19:1-4
Phil Chadwick replied:
Your knowledge of the Scripture is truly amazing Sunny. Those words are even more applicable today as society decides how to work with nature and the environment. Joni Mitchell said years ago about "pave Paradise and put on a parking lot." Paving the natural world has gone on too long. I work with groups trying to re-create nature corridors. Maybe someday my art will make a difference. Thank you so much for inspiring me Sunny.
